六、選項均為名詞性短語
　　如選項均為概括性較強的名詞或是名詞性的短語，且各項內容差異較大，問題則很可能是關于對話所談論的主題或對話中出現的某一事件或問題的主題。
　　【例7】(710分樣卷-22)
　　【預覽選項】
　　[A]The latest developments of an armed rebellion in Karnak.
　　[B]The fall of Karnak’s capital city into the hands of the rebel forces.
　　[C]The epidemic that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.
　　[D]The peace talks between the rebels and the government in Karnak.
　　【聽前預測】
　　選項均為名詞短語，且概括性均較強，故本題很可能考查對話的主旨。由 armed rebellion，the rebel forces，peace talks between the rebels and the government 等詞以及多次出現的Karnak可推知本對話很可能與Karnak國反政府武裝叛亂有關。
　　【聽音驗證】
